Saturday Groceries.

Rainy day be damned, I went to the second Portland Farmers Market this past Saturday. It had returned for the season (and by season, I mean until December!) to the PSU Park blocks and despite just missing bus there, finding myself using an umbrella for the first time in over a year and grumbling more than I'd like to admit, I arrived, and got to work smiling and creepily eyeing vegetables.

Looks like Portland.

It's mostly greens this early in the season but there are a ton of local vendors including Tastebud Pita (which I would have gotten if the wheat berry salad mix didn't have leeks, bummer for me), Dave's Killer Bread and Black Sheep Bakery. Besides buying produce for myself, I went with the intention of buying my siblings gifts of jam and whatnot for my trip to the East Coast in a few weeks and forgot - sorry Jenny! Last year I brought my sister some of the sensational Blossom Vinegars.

My mini haul:

a bag of giant Red Anjoi Pears $4

kale raab $2.25

yellow onion 50 cents (for a recipe!)

Maittake mushrooms $5

Later in the day, I hadn't enough of the rain and grocery shopping and headed to Fubonn.

Wow, what a fabulous looking market! I try to go to the markets around San Fran and Berkeley as much as I can. They're so wonderful!! You got lots of great goodies. This post only confirms that Portland is a super sweet city. I've always wanted to visit, and now that I live on the west coast (so much closer than the east coast), I have no excuse not to get over to Portland!

I think your sushi looks fabulous! I've never made it myself, mostly because seaweed makes me gag in sushi quantities (but I'm trying to get over that). I wish our farmer's markets were open this early!

I think I saw you at the market this weekend....you wandered off before I could make you nervous with my anonymous internet awareness. It was like LeekFest over there this week, dude, I'm swimmin' in 'em.
